Finding your voice. Building confidence. Moving towards freedom.

For this young person, mentoring has been part of a journey of personal growth — helping her recognise her strengths, work towards her goals and build greater confidence in making choices for her future.

Her journey is still unfolding, but the direction is clear: more confidence, more connection and greater personal freedom. 🌱

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our screening of SILENCED on Sunday.

We were so pleased to have 80+ members of our WAMily come together for this powerful and thought-provoking documentary - and grateful for the compassionate conversations that followed about sexual assault, survivors’ voices, justice and the systems that can silence or further harm those who speak out.

A special commendation to Selina Miles for creating a film that asks important questions about power, accountability and the narratives we accept as truth.

SILENCED also challenges us to consider the role of media, public commentary and group thinking in shaping perceptions of sexual violence. The stories and perspectives that are amplified can perpetuate myths and attitudes that cause real harm, particularly to survivors.

As an organisation working to raise awareness of gendered justice and advocate for systemic change, we value work that challenges those narratives and creates space for difficult conversations.

SILENCED is now screening nationally, and we encourage you to see it and join the conversation.

Children should never be strip searched. No one should give birth in shackles.

These are not abstract issues. They are practices that continue to happen to people in contact with Australia’s criminal justice system.

Senator Lidia Thorpe has introduced two Bills to Parliament seeking to put an end to both practices:

🔹 The Crimes Amendment (Prohibiting the Strip Searching of Children) Bill 2026 would prohibit strip searches of anyone under 18.

🔹 The Crimes Amendment (Prohibiting Shackling During Childbirth) Bill 2026 would prohibit the use of restraints during labour, childbirth and immediately afterwards.

WAM supports these reforms.

The evidence is clear: strip searching children is invasive, traumatising and ineffective. In one example cited by the Federation of Community Legal Centres, 127 strip searches of children across two NSW youth prisons found items in just three cases.

And restraining someone during labour or childbirth is dangerous and medically unnecessary. It can increase risks for both parent and baby, retraumatise women and deter people from accessing maternity care.

For people who have already experienced violence, trauma and contact with the justice system, these practices can compound harm rather than create safety.

Justice should not mean losing your dignity.

You can support these Bills by signing the open letters calling on the Australian Government to act.

And if you can, share the campaign to help build public support for change.
